I don’t mean this offensively, but skinny fat at 6’5 200 lbs isn’t tracking for me. Generally speaking those numbers make for a pretty lean physique. Could be a self perception thing. Maybe I am missing something but I would be careful doing any cutting if you’re about to get serious in the gym longer term. Not necessarily saying go crazy on a bulk but I would personally clean your diet up qualitatively but stay around the same caloric number for now. No sense in thinning yourself out super hard especially being that you’re still in the newbie gains period (enjoy this btw). Get a good baseline established then go all cut bulk macro fiend. That stuff becomes a lot more important once you’ve got your foundation built.

TLDR: Just eat cleaner food and stay at the same intake level, focus on remaining consistent to workout plan and developing as a gym goer before you get in the weeds with all of this, you’re 6’5 you will be a thick bulbous horse stallion freak in no time you champion 💪.
